10 Veggies to Plant NOW for a Fall Harvest

[@epicgardening]

Sorry about the audio in the end guys...the dogs and kids were going INSANE and I couldn't get my mic to work 😂😭

[@rai55]

All good b/c some of us can really relate - 3 school-age kids (no dog) 😅 Another EPIC video! 🌱💫

[@raneemsisi2086]

Hi tysm for your tips it really helps me im ur new subscriber

[@trishdavi7049]

The audio came through great Kevin. Only hear birds chirping in the background so far. I'm using tulle fabric to protect produce from pests. Greenhouse in hot sun can be too hot even in fall. Please do an updated program on pest prevention in future . I grew marigolds from seed started in March and they are just blooming now. Unlike previous years my nasturteums have no aphids...none of my garden does while those are usually gross black aphid magnets.

[@brittmyzone8agarden]

You had me that that first part of “ I will personally come to your garden...” I was ready to hear “ and fix my diy trellises lol... great timing again today was a big garden day I however will need prayers for my broccoli seedling I just transplanted because after listening to you I’ve planted wrong 🤪😓😭

[@karenlatham4053]

A lot of times I'm reading the comments while I'm listening to the video. I thought it was going to be really bad at the end because I read this first. It wasn't so bad..

[@deborahmarlewski6786]

I grew my cabbage surrounded by onions. For the first time I did not have a lot of damage from pests.

[@epicgardening]

Glad to hear this!

[@ttv_coolsgameing7187]

If you put a bar of Irish Spring soap near your cabbage and lettuce. It helps a lot. Those little black bugs hate it.

[@jmas2312]

Thanks. My cabbage always gets eaten by pest or rabbits. The bunnies and squirrels eat very well in my garden.

[@unstence]

@@jmas2312 first time growing cabbage this year and I might get one head that wasn’t completely devoured

[@GoodThingsEtc]

I am definitely trying that!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@flowerpixel]

I was a kid in the 90s and I AGREE. I hated brussel sprouts bc people would steam. Then tried them roasted as an adult and they're incredible Looking forward to grow guides! I'm growing a lot of these for the first time

[@Imbatmn57]

I think they also changed it somehow so nowadays they're less bitter, maybe ph/alkalines makes them more bitter. There was also people that started cross breeding better tasting brussels.

[@user-cu8bm9tw7s]

Please be safe! I have family in LA County with some being FD. May He watch over you all and keep you safe 🙏🏻❤️ I was able to harvest some broccoli earlier this season (7a) but decided to leave them in the planters. A few weeks ago I planted bush beans around the broccoli and holy moly! They LOVE each other! Making notes this year and this buddy duo is on the list for next year. For carrots I direct sowed in a planter with peas, nasturtiums and some herbs. They all seem happy together. And my goodness. This year was the first time growing peas (sugar snap and snow) and I may need a 12 step program 🤤 I’ll be stocking up on seeds for 2021. Just this evening as soon as I came home from work, I pulled the peas I have in planters with some cukes by the stairs and I ate them all before even opening the front door. And this is someone who NEVER had peas like this before this year. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Crack peas. Yup. I’ll be trying to figure a way to grow them inside over there winter under my grow lights. I may go thru a withdrawal 😩 Am I dwelling on the peas too much?.....

[@sloanschwindt9718]

We just had 6" of snow and freezing temps yesterday and will have an even colder night tonight! Spent about 3 or 4 hours creating tripods over plants and covering them and laying down tarps, etc to try to save as much as we could of our veggie garden! Smoke and ash have been covering us too, but not as badly as where you are. Have planted some beans and more lettuce, and hope to get some produce out of them in October or late September. The challenges of gardening in Colorado are always fun and enjoy what we do! Hope the fires get under control in Cali soon! Cheers Kevin!

[@BatmanPwnage]

Send your weather my way. I just started planting some seeds cause I'm in zone 10b. I should have waited a little longer since we have a tropical depression right now and its been pouring everyday.

[@Kre8iviT27]

6 inches of snow? Wow

[@richards5110]

Covering sown carrot seeds with a board works a treat. keeps moisture in, protects the soil from disturbance, etc. Just check a couple times a day for the very first signs of life, and take it off once you do. I usually transition to draping shade cloth after I see sprouts to continue helping the soil stay moist.

[@elcinnador]

Finally I found a video on how to garden in California. I'm tired of watching British garden shows and shows from New England and trying to extrapolate. Fell like I hit the jack pot here in the Central Valley. Great show, very practical.

[@clairemcconway6266]

Love turnips! Growing up in Ireland, swede (rutabaga) is way more common than turnip and it's even commonly called a turnip there. My mother always cooked swede mashed up with carrot and parsnip. The first time I had an actual real turnip (they call them white turnips there to distinguish them from swedes, which are much bigger and have yellow flesh) I thought it was so delicious...

[@victoriabarclay3556]

Homegrown cauliflower is so sweet and so much better than supermarket. I love all the greens and lettuces too. And beet greens are amazing. I’d do kohlrabi over turnips. Can’t eat turnips ugh. Homegrown carrots are wonderful too.

[@drsharna]

Nice arbor! I wanted something like that for my Joseph's Coat heirloom roses, but didn't want that price tag, so I went to Tractor Supply, bought a hay ring & sunk it about 6" into the dirt. Same effect but much sturdier & about 1/5 the price.

This is my first Fall garden. I started the Fall garden the end of September. All plants look great but no harvest yet. I grow in containers until I can get a raised bed going. I plan to get my Spring garden from seeds and a raised bed started very soon.

Up here in Vacaville, in the Sacramento valley, the smoke and ash are so dense, our temperatures went from 110 to mid to upper 80s. Because the weather has been so hot this year, I haven't bothered to start any brassicas for transplant. And, I need to do some overhauls on 2 raised beds. So there's that, lol.

[@tanluwils1736]

Thanks for sharing these tips. My summer veggies were ravaged by squirrels, so I need fall crop redemption. Funny, the veggie I hated as a kid that my mom forced on me was actually bok choi! I've since had delicious bok choi dishes with improved texture. My parents tried growing them and we've tended to pick them while young and put them in salads or last min fixings for soups.

[@Tobias611]

Oh that story about being a kid and not eating stuff, while sitting there for an hour or two. I know that too well, I've been a picky eater all my life lol. Though through gardening I learned to appreciate a lot of the vegetables, I ate broccoli before but now I love it (slightly roasted with a nice tomato cream sauce, ughh so good). Though I still don't like the zucchinis I grew this year, but maybe that'll change in the future too... Lol.

[@kbjerke]

Also, we love everything the beet plant provides us with! The tops are delicious, and there are many ways to enjoy the root bulb. (Boiled, sautéed, in soup, etc... the greens are better than spinach, IMHO! And I like spinach! I'm just about to harvest my (experimental) container of beets. I also have an experimental container beside the beets, of parsnip. Due to the soil conditions here, I have had to resort to container gardening. Hope my (experimental) harvest goes well! Perhaps early next week! Best wishes to all!

First of all you really have my heart in regards to the fires, I lived in the La Jolla Reservation (just below Mt. Palomar) during the 2007 Wild Fires and I remember the ash in Escondido. Eventually it hit the Rez starting at our nephews house when their wires split & boom 90% of the Rez was lost & of course our home & we lived clear on the other side. Anyway you guys be safe. On to gardening, our weather in Albuquerque went from. 99 on Monday to 46 last night & today with winds in some places 75 mph. I covered my plants w/intention to uncover during the day but it never warmed tomorrow 62. All your information really helped just fingers crossed things will survive, I planted late so my tomatoes were just producing plus I had blossom drop with records heat, more blossoms this past week now cold snap. Not sure about a fall crop, Sat suppose to b 80. Cheers

Lol at least I still have plenty of time here in 9b to start them again. I was also force fed brussel sprouts as a child and have never grown them because I never enjoyed them. I probably haven’t had them since the 90’s so maybe I need to try some new recipes. I usually love all brassicas!
